Once worked with a bloke named Ed. He had 2 brothers, also named Ed. Edward, Edgar and Edwin. His Ma liked the name Ed.

Good luck to the new Sex Ed.

Hoping he replicates his early JLT form to cement a spot down back. He was playing like James Clement in all games bar his stinker, and appeared exactly what our side has required in defence.

I like the James Clement comparison. If he ends up being that level headed cool in a crisis guy that can play small / tall then good outcome.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Clement was an absolute star, if he turns out half the player he'll be a gem.

 

[brickstobricks]

Congrats to the VW. It's been a while in the making, take it with both hands. Looking forward to a great future!

 

[amaz199]

So rapt for him. Hopefully plays well when he comes on. Should expect a few nervous-errors but he should adapt to the jump from VFL.

 

[Pep Fraudiola]

Bout time we had a smart person playing in defence.

 

[Saintly2]

Good luck to him.

Earned his place last week (as did Clarke) so hope he grabs it.

Do we know where EVW stands on being called Eddie Baby?

 

[giantroo]

Loving his game. Stays in the side.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Footy iq, he has it.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Gee - a young player comes in from the two's and performs well - who would have thought? I wonder if there are a couple more there?

 

[king rising]

no words. looks like a 100 gamer

 

[roojor]

Yes we have found a beauty and it also allows McDonald to play up the ground and he looks good

 

[Groucho]

Exceptional debut so far. Composed,confident and creative.

 

[giantroo]

Eligible for Rising star yes?

Turned 21 on 28 March.

To be eligible to be nominated for the award, a player must be younger than 21 years of age on 1 January of the award year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the beginning of the season.

Gee, young player given time to develop skills and confidence in the twos finally earns his chance and shows the benefit of being "held back" - who would have thought?

You can make any argument you want. Or you can just focus on giving the guy credit for a very composed and skilful debut game. Go VW.

Why 'hold back' - blind Freddie could see he was a firsts player through the JLT - why run around in Werribee practise matches? if you check pre game posts you will see my reference to him never going back to the two's again - we just have to get better at selection - VDUB - keep up the good work.

 

[Deddy]

Very good, must stay in.

 

[Naked_North]

Was ok. Defensively was found out a little.

 

[Benno_900]

Good first half.

Okay second half - cost us a couple of goals.

 

[ShiNoBi]

I locked now. and only I know the number to unlock....

 

[Gasometer]

Good first half.

Okay second half - cost us a couple of goals.

Nah nah nah...its all about sacking Spitta and Scotts..stay on narrative

 

[Ischenko]

Loved his composure early. Would have been really nice if he'd kicked the goal.

 

[Roosurgence]

Good first up. Worth persisting with.

Also gives us the flexibility to move McDonald or McMillan further up the ground.

 

[KangaFan35]

Looked composed and made the right decisions, he didn't look like a first gamer out there. Must stay in the side.
